INTRODUCTION

Your future starts here!

Welcome to the Year 10 (Grade 9) Upper Secondary subject guide! This is an exciting milestone in your educational development. A time you begin to think about what you want from your future and what subjects you need to study to help you on your journey.

Moving to Upper Secondary is a big transition, whether you are crossing that threshold here at RGSV or from another school. There is an ever increasing expectation from teachers of a more mature approach to study and a more organised and independent attitude to learning. That is why it’s vital to begin this stage of education with a good understanding of what makes a successful Upper Secondary student. Our expectations are high but we believe that you can and will reach and exceed your potential with the right support, attitude and work ethic.

This Booklet is your guide to choosing your Upper Secondary subjects, including Cambridge IGCSEs. Here you will find information about all the Upper Secondary subjects which can be studied at RGSV, as well as get a flavour of the full breadth of the curriculum for Years 10 and 11. Choosing the best options is not an easy process and we hope that you find this booklet, together with guidance and advice from our teachers, useful in helping you to make the right choices.
